No matter how sick we may be there is always hope for improvement and healing.

Until that happens, we support and encourage one another as best we can.

A Prayer

Father, we struggle at times to endure
hardship and pain that has no cure.

We long so much for it all to end,
for relief to come, as we stoop and bend.

Grant us grace and strength to persevere,
continuing to know that You are so near
a simple heart’s cry is already heard
even if we do not utter a word.
In the darkest nights we fail to rest
and have many days when we’re far from our best.
Weakness and weariness play their part
in bringing discouragement to make us lose heart.
Lift and encourage us when we feel sad
during those moments when pain’s really bad.
For you are the One who we turn to in need
and You help to heal and make all pain recede.
Thank you.
Amen.

Dear JoyThis is amazingly beautiful and sooo accurate! Thank you, Joy. I have had quite a rough patch the last few weeks and I relate so well with those Fibrofingers that prod and poke so deep! I am happy that you guys have a Fibro Awareness Day. I am glad that in South Africa we are getting more and more acknowledgement. A few years ago, very few doctors actually believe in this illness. But we don't have many doctors really skilled in treating Fm/CFS. Well, I can only say that we know what it is to live daily in our Lord Jesus, completely dependent on Him for grace upon grace upon some more grace.Blessings and much love, dear one.Mia

Hi Mia. I'm delighted to hear from you as I know what it costs you in terms of energy to read and leave comments. So pleased you could relate to this! It remains an uphill struggle for Fibromyalgia and M.E to be accepted as serious and debilitating illnesses. Praise God for His grace and sustaining power. We are dependent on it every day. Blessings and love to you too, my friend. xx

And to reveal, as I share words of joy and encouragement, how beauty can spring forth from brokenness and hope shines bright even in dark circumstances.
